Re: FW: Jeep 4.0 in an American?

oh boy, i know how that goes!  btdt, t-shirt doesn't fit...

"    My point is I would build the two wheel drive Jeep with the T-5 or
" similar car geared trans. Just because it is more "street" friendly,
" depending on the gear set. It is also light weight, 75 lbs. The AX15
" is IMHO too notchy in shift action to be "fun" on the street. 

that's a point.  makes me wonder how the r154 in turbo supras is.

"   Of course the T-5 into the XJ body is not a bolt in. which I'm sure
" is what you are after.

1. some '84-6 xjs came with [wide ratio] t5s instead of ax5s.  but
   that's not what i'm looking for...  [dunno if it's the same as t5s
   in eagles or cjs either]
2. advance has a [wide ratio] world class t5 for 4.0s with peugeots -
   for ~$1800, incl bell.  but i'm not looking for that either...

if the eagle hydro slave was cheaper and more available it would
simplify this swap.  it bolts to the amc sr4/t4/t5 and multipattern
[afaik] bells.  then add a cps relocation kit or hack the bell to
mount it...

anyone happen to know the length overall of an anc t5, bell face to
output yoke?  i'm wondering if it would happen to be the same as ford
t5s, 24" +/-.
